Two more lures from Berkley Powerbait that caught my eye. Would be happy using either of these 2-inch lures on the UL for the Perch. Both the Gotam Shad and the Drop Shot Minnow feature holographic flash and bright colours - ideal for the canal.

Pure Fishing, the worldwide distributors of brands like Abu Garcia, Penn and Berkley, has its own giant show for the trade on another date, but they did have a presence at T&G and there were a few items I found interesting.

Berkley Nanofil is now available in 3 colours. In addition to the White Mist, you can now get Lime Green and Dark Green variants. Have seen mixed feedback on Nanofil as an LRF line but it's certainly an affordable, thin line with low stretch and great sensitivity

About Light Rock Fishing

Light Rock Fishing, or LRF as it's more commonly known means different things to different people. Essentially it's ultra light lure fishing - requiring skill and finesse. It's the perfect way to hone your general lure fishing skills and continues all year round. No longer do you need to pack up your lure fishing tackle in winter, once traditional sport species like Bass disappear. For others, like me, it's the ideal fishing discipline to target new and interesting species, helping us to knotch up record levels of species each season. To all though, young and old, experienced or beginner, it means incredibly fun fishing - get involved!
